About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their teenager begins to question the black and white narratives of authority and looks for stories that reflect the complex moral gray areas of the real world. This high stakes superhero adventure follows Nova, a girl raised by villains, as she infiltrates the Renegades, a group of heroes who claim to protect society but often ignore the marginalized. Through her eyes, readers explore the thin line between justice and vengeance. While the book contains action-oriented violence and some intense moments, it is perfect for 12 to 18 year olds who enjoy exploring themes of systemic power, personal loyalty, and the internal conflict that comes from seeing 'the enemy' as a real person. It is an excellent choice for encouraging critical thinking about who gets to write the rules of society.
